Evanston Public Library was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to provide our community with free copies of Ross Gay’s book of poetry Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, to be given away at a variety of events from September through May. In partnership with Hive Center For The Book Arts, we will host events around the themes of this book of poetry, with a focus on joy and gratitude for where we live.
Submit your creative writing and artwork to Evanston Public Library’s digital 10th Ward Lit magazine. Inspired by Ross Gay’s book of poetry Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, we encourage writers and artists to explore the theme of gratitude from a wide array of perspectives. Learn more about how to submit to 10th Ward Lit’s Joy & Gratitude issue. We will be accepting submissions until December 15th, 2024.
The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read is designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
